2012 Map of Keys View

About this map

Keys View commands a prominent position in this high-desert landscape within Joshua Tree National Park. The survey illustrates a terrain defined by significant mountain peaks and vast drainage systems, most notably Ryan Mountain, Lost Horse Mountain, and the expansive Juniper Flats. Human infrastructure is light but critical, including the Colorado River Aqueduct traversing the southern edge and a network of primitive routes like Juniper Flats Rd and Stubby Springs Trl. The presence of Ryan Campground and Cap Rock highlights the area's role as a destination for outdoor activity. Geologic features such as The Blue Cut and seasonal water sources like Stubbe Spring provide specific points of interest for those studying the natural history and hydrology of the Little San Bernardino Mountains region.
